'Rock Against Bush' will be released!

NEW YORK (Top 40 Charts) - Sum 41 is joining Good Charlotte, Green Day, Pennywise, NOFX and a whole slew of American pop-punk bands to raise political awareness and encourage their fans to vote against George Bush in the next U.S. presidential election.

Each group will contribute a track to an upcoming compilation called "Rock Against Bush" which will be accompanied by a Rock Against Bush Tour around election time. The CD and tour are being organized and funded by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and NOFX singer/bass player Fat Mike.

Two tours - one around the release of the album and the other closer to next year's presidential election - are also in the planning stages, most likely to consist of free concerts on college campuses. The tour will probably be named Punkvoter, after Fat Mike's political awareness organization.
Money from sales of the album will go into print and television ads encouraging young people to vote Bush out of the White House. Fat Mike told MTV.com he hopes to have "one or two famous punk rockers" appear in the ads.
